15 contaminated Taiwan products banned in the Philippines

The Food and Drugs Administration on Saturday announced a ban on 15
food products from Taiwan found contaminated with an acid commonly used
to manufacture plastics and automobile parts.

FDA acting director Dr. Kenneth Hartigan-Go said the following
products are not registered with the FDA for selling in the country:

Hong Tapioca Starch

Redman Black Tapioca Pearl

Sun Right Indica Rice Powder

Top 1 Tapioca Pearls

Tea World Tapioca Starch Ball

Unbranded Starch Ball

“Long-term consumption of high levels of maleic acid could harm the kidney,” Go said.

Republic Act 9711 or the Consumer Act of the Philippines prohibits the
manufacture, importation, exportation, sale, offering for sale,
distribution, transfer, non-consumer use, promotion, advertising or
sponsorship of any health product that is adulterated, unregistered or
misbranded.

Go said the ban on the products stays until these are registered in the
country by an FDA-licensed food establishment and properly tested for
the presence or absence of maleic acid.
